postgresql 8.2 startup script - Mailing list pgsql-general

Hi,

I use FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE #0: Fri May  1 07:18:07 UTC 2009

I installed the above port and my /usr/local/etc/rc.d/postgresql
script doesn't work...it doesn't initialize the db, it doesn't make it
start....

If i do it "manually" with the on-installation created user pgsql:
[pgsql@zennaVo /]$ initdb -D /usr/local/pgsql/data
[pgsql@zennaVo /]$  pg_ctl -D /usr/local/pgsql/data start

it works....

What's the problem with the startup script? am I doing
something wrong?

My startup script:
------------------------
#!/bin/sh

# $FreeBSD: ports/databases/postgresql83-server/files/postgresql.in,v
